<p>The amount of options for this combo are staggering.

<p>[Spoiler]* The taker of eyes encounter seems like it may be a little tame for my group. I am considering replacing 2 of the advanced exploding skeletons with 2 lvl 2 tetori monk skeletal champions. I have gone over the numbers, and it seems that each of these monk/champions should be cr 2 each (level 2 monk = cr 1, +1 for the skeletal champion template). I am giving these monks no gear to further keep their cr at 2 each. All of the research I do on skeletal champions puts their cr at 2 for 1 character level, but I as far as I can tell, the cr in my case should be 2. At any rate, this puts the overall cr at 6. *[Spoiler/]</p>
<p>[Spoiler]* the alchemist in the mumia lab is well and fine, but if feel him being a vivisectionist will not pay off. He has no one to flank with, so sneak attacking is pretty much out. Wouldnt he just be better off as a regular alchemist? *[spoiler/]</p>
<p>[Spoiler]* I really don't like the forgotten pharaoh cultists. As much as the stats seem right, they still seem to lack. I wonder if a different class combo or just single class would be better. The cr seems fine, but does anyone have any ideas for a different cultist? *[spoiler]</p>

<p>I do have an issue with the scenario's influence checks though. I don't think there are enough chances. From my count, if the group takes the second boat for the extra influence check, and never attempts to gain influence over Tancred (who is effectively never there to gain influence over), they only have a total of 6 checks. Half the people present require a total of 3 successful checks meaning if you so much as attempt to influence on of them, you automatically fail the scenario. Doesn't seem right.</p>
<p>My solution was to allow a few additional checks between and after the two fights, which still resulted in only one player receiving their prestige point due to too many failed attempts over all. </blockquote><p>I really liked this approach. For 3 seasons, players have learned to dump abilities, make killing machine relic hunters, and worry about damage per round, making the 2 pp a given for every game. I really really want this new feel to work. Dumped your INT for a high strength? Good luck with achieving you faction mission. I really want less hack and slash and more problem solving /rp such as what this module presented - a dream come true for me as a gm.
<p>Also, the fact that there were only 5-6 chances to get the influence is the charm of the influence challenge. It should not be a 'gimme' in my opinion. Also, in oder for the whole interactive meta plot to develop, i as a player or gm want to see some people get prestige or not get it - its more epic overall than just critting for 40+ damage to me.</p>Dust Raven wrote:I just ran this yesterday, and it was a blast!

I know this could turn into a 200+ comment thread about ethos and philosophy, so lets keep it simple.</p>
<p>First off, I am playing him to where he really will not tolerate going to far out of the grey area. Stealing is not cool, killing is not cool, and other similar activities are not cool. I also do not want to play the idea that 'just do it while the paladin is not looking' either, as I think the idea of the Silver Crudade stands for an ideal along the lines of making the Society a force for good in Golarion. For what its worth, my paladin follows Erastil.</p>
<p>That said, I can rp through alot of the situations that come up, but when we take a prisoner for some reason, I need a standard procedure. I guess when in town, we should turn prisoners in, but what about out in the bush? tie them up and leave them? I cant drug them (poison is not an allowed paladin option); Do I simply administer justice based on thier crimes? I mean in game of thrones, Ned stark is along the lines of Lawful good and the first thing he does is execute someone for violating an oath....I rather find this approach appropriate.</p>

Thats a touch attack acid dart, and he uses a bardiche. Luckily I have most of my removal spells on scrolls, so I can prep attacks as needed. Searing Light might be an idea, or summon monster 2 or 3 (for air elementals or lantern archons), plus communal resist energy cold to disuade breathing on us.Indivar2012-10-28T22:03:40ZRe: Advice: How to fight a flying dragonIndivarhttp://paizo.com/threads/rzs2p3qk?How-to-fight-a-flying-dragon#92012-10-28T21:44:47Z2012-10-28T21:44:47Z<p>Its white. I have figured what I would do (flyby + breathe, retreat upon seeing an archer....attack at night, find boulders to drop, bully goblins to make swarm filled jars to drop at night. Maybe I am paranoid), and we have few options. I played the cleric (because no one would, after my guy died) and others have died and have yet to play an arcane. I think our party composition could likely lead to dire consequences on this one.</p>Its white.

<p>My advise is to read your module carefully and review the various situations it may present (skill checks, special monster abilities, spells used, how traps work, ect) and try to read how they work in the core rule book.</p>
<p>Also, know what your player characters (PCs)abilities are and how they work - ask your self how will those PCs abilties affect the encounters in your module. This could lead to more research into the magic system, reviewing weapons and rules for them, ect. </p>
<p>You will miss somethings along the way, but thats ok because the main goal of the event is to have fun. Also, if you get a chance to play the game with veteran gamers, that can be totally valuable to you and learning about the game.</p>The first time I ever played an rpg, it was many years ago, and I, as you, was the gm (or dm as it was back then in that case).
